"I'm in the capital. If you and Da Fei have time, pack your bags and come over too!"
"The crew is about to start post-production recently. I will be staying in the capital for a while. You can come over and we can discuss it."
capital?
Post-production?
Wu Di had never mentioned these things to Jingjing before. At first glance, he sounded a little overwhelmed.
"Did Director Zhang come to see you?"
Jingjing knew that Zhang Feng was from the capital and had always had a relatively good relationship with Wu Di, so she asked this question.
Wu Di said helplessly: "That is, and I want to inform you. The problem is that I was forced to come here by Director Zhang, and I didn't even know about this before. Don't mind it, if there is a good thing, I will
Of course I won’t forget you.”
"Shall we go to the capital together too?"
"That's a good thing!"
"Brother Da Fei is planning to run a new drama for you recently. There are many crews and contacts in the capital, so I will definitely be able to find you a good new drama by then."
Speaking of this matter, Wu Di thought of it again.
"There is no rush about this matter. In fact, I already have a new drama in preparation. If it goes well, it is possible to join the cast seamlessly."
What we’re talking about here is, of course, a costume drama starring Jianbing. Although Jianbing didn’t give him exact information, based on Jianbing’s appreciation for him, he probably wouldn’t trick him.
A major role is still obtainable.
Besides, it's not that Wu Di looks down on Da Fei. In fact, when it comes to finding a drama team, Jianbing is more reliable than Da Fei.
There is no other reason.
It’s just circle culture.
Jianbing belongs to that circle, and is very famous and well-connected. Whether it is a movie or a TV series, it is all made by the director.
Jianbing has a good relationship with the directors of these crews. As long as the people he recommends are generally acceptable, the director will be willing to use them.
Moreover, for the sake of human relationships, neither the director nor the crew will usually change their mind.
This is not the case with Da Fei. For one thing, he is not a particularly famous agent in the industry. He can even be said to be a pheasant agent.
In fact, there are not many large-scale production crews that can sell him face. Even if they give him face, many of them only respond verbally.
Whether Wu Di can really be brought into these crews and let him get roles is still uncertain.
This is also the current reality in the industry.
As for Wu Di, once the two movies are released one after another, his situation in the industry will be very different.
A rising tide lifts all boats. By then, maybe Yuan Dafei will be much more relaxed and happy when he goes out to discuss business again.
However, this is not that time yet.
Neither movie has been released, and Wu Di was not well-known in the industry in the past. Why would a big crew want to use you?
I have so many options and there are so many substitutes.
Why not just follow Jianbing first, and after two movies, continue to gain a sense of presence in that costume drama and stabilize his position.
Later we will discuss the next development direction.
Yes!
In fact, if we discuss it seriously, Wu Di is more far-sighted than Yuan Dafei in terms of marketing and future career development paths.

The so-called foresight naturally comes from personal experience.
Wu Diben has traveled from the future, and he is already quite familiar with the hype and marketing in the entertainment industry.
This is different from Yuan Dafei in 2009. Their era was also experienced by Wu Di personally.
There is a lot of hype and marketing methods that are relatively primitive, giving you the feeling of going into battle with nothing but mud and sand.
The main reason is the lack of a sound plan and a complete plan.
For example, by the time Wu Di traveled through time, marketing had become a necessary process.
Whether it is acting career or ordinary product sales, marketing is needed, and marketing has gradually evolved from a relatively negative word to a neutral word.
In 2009, various advertisements to promote the release of movies were still called promotional activities. After the 2020s, people, not only the industry, but even the most ordinary movie audiences have gradually understood that those overwhelming advertisements,
Recommendations from authoritative media and even ratings from movie websites are all part of marketing.
They can all be made and may not reflect the true quality of the movie.
These are all marketing. If any business wants to develop, it needs to allocate a special amount of marketing expenses for early promotion.
If the marketing is done well, a tricycle can turn into a Rolls-Royce in an instant. If the marketing is not done well, or it is just lagging behind in the early stage, then I’m sorry, no matter how good the quality of the film is, it is very likely that it will not achieve satisfactory results.
.
Even being stepped on by those big bad movies.
Isn’t it a pity?
The same goes for an actor's personal development. Even if his career is booming, if he doesn't have a good plan, after the storm passes, he is likely to be lost to everyone and unable to follow up.
However, Wu Di obviously will not encounter such embarrassment.
He has long been familiar with the entire hype process, and when there are plenty of film contracts, there is certainly no need for him to jump around any more.
Of course, the scripts he has received so far are of good quality.
After completing these three films, Wu Di will face a major choice.
Do you want to be a powerful person or an idol person?
Obviously, Wu Di has the ability to be an idol actor, a popular fried chicken, etc. With his appearance, he can definitely stand out.
He is also blessed with a gift package for his acting skills, so when he competes with other popular young actors, there is no problem in winning.
What about the powerful ones?
Of course it's not like Wu Di can't rush.
The most important thing is that once you are recognized as a capable actor, your foundation in the circle will be quite solid. To put it bluntly, you will never have to worry about not being able to film in the future.
Become a strong player and you will be more likely to win awards in the future.
However, there are certainly advantages and disadvantages.
This is inevitable.
Compared with idol actors, the commercial value of powerful actors is usually lower, and they can shoot far fewer advertisements.
In other words, there are not that many opportunities to make money.
This so-called distinction depends on whether Wu Di wants to be a rich man or an actor who can leave a name in film history.
But in fact, many things are not that serious.
If you want to develop, you also need to look at the timing. Sometimes, when the timing comes, your luck will skyrocket and you can't stop it.
But once luck is not with you, it will be of no use even if you run around as hard as you can.
Therefore, the time to really use your brain has not yet come.
Now little Didi can naturally lie under the wings of a great director and live a leisurely life.
"Jingjing, there is no need to rush about the new film. Now I have two films in stock. Moreover, these two films have not completed post-production yet. I don't know where I will be used in the future. I think that in the short term, I
